75W means bulb which give 75W power when connected to domestic light. Power is nothing but energy per second. Thus energy consumed by bulb can be calculated as follows.

E = 75*60*60*4J = 1080kJ

A light bulb has an efficiency of 10%. A 40 watt light bulb gives off 4 watts of light. That leaves 36 watts of heat. Now you can look up the formula to get the conversion factor to joules so you can get the right answer for your homework.

Use the formula: energy = power x time.

First you must convert everything to appropriate units. Here is the same equation as above, but with compatible units:

joules = watts x seconds

or

kilowatt-hours = kilowatts x hours

Does a 60 watt light bulb evaporate water faster than the sun?

Faster than ambient left alone? If compare to open air then it is faster with extra heat source of 100 Watt. If it had twice the bulb then it is faster than 1 bulb. Light bulb is the energy source and evaporation require energy. Provide extra energy help speed up evaporation.

How does the Sun shine for years at a time without burning out like a light bulb?

Quite simply, this is because the Sun isn't a light bulb. The Sun is a hot gas - hot plasma, to be more precise - and it gets its energy from nuclear fusion at its center. There is enough energy left to continue burning for several billion years more.
